YES in Morse Code

YES is a three-letter affirmative response. It is an ordinary word in Morse, not a special acknowledgement signal. A lesson can pair it with NO and ask a listener to identify which complete answer was sent.

YES - Character-by-Character Breakdown

What to check in YES

Y begins with a dash and has four marks. Do not shorten it to N. E contributes a single dot between Y and S, so removing that small group removes a whole letter.

Character groups for YES. Dots and dashes stay inside each labelled group; a wider space separates words.

Encode the exact wording below and compare it with YES. Adding letters or words changes the signal; a word gap is longer than a letter gap. The slash in the displayed result marks that word gap and is not an extra transmitted mark.

Verify your finished pattern

Read each labelled character group in order, then decode the complete copied pattern. Check that it returns YES, including any word spaces. In a physical layout, decorative spacers should be distinct from signal marks. The diagram illustrates grouping; it does not specify bead sizes or guarantee how a printed or permanent design will reproduce.

Keep each letter’s marks together, put a space between letters, and use / between words. Check the writing guide for accepted input and the timing reference for playback.

How to Pronounce "YES" in Morse Code

Listen to YES one character at a time, then play the complete message.

  • Y-.--(dah-di-dah-dah)
  • E.(dit)
  • S...(di-di-dit)

Leave a short gap between each letter and a longer gap between words.
